"they tried to change his character as the last minute. It didn't fit. " A GWTW non change of character finale with audience seeing Pepe bitter because he thinks that she is a money grubbing liar while audience knows she wants to be with him would have better brought home husband's deviousness that got the girl. Audience would have then hated husband instead of the movie. Pepe needs to confront the receptionist he bribed to find out what happened to his letter and be furious at himself for losing. That would have kept him in character and given film the same ending but less sappy.

You're thinking of "The Taming of the Shrew". Shakespeare started the trend I guess. Kind of sad that most romantic comedies are either that or Pride and Prejudice knockoffs.
Not clever enough for a signature

This film really isn't any worse than half the rom com movies out today. Nearly all of them have the theme that a bitchy, uptight woman is bitchy and shrill because she can't find love. After she's finally cut down to size by a man, she falls in love with the guy because he "put her in her place".
This movie is just more overt about the message but honestly, that's the plot of nearly every Katherine Heigel-esque film.

I agree! Seeing this today I thought, "this is not a film for our modern times". Normally, in a movie like this, the guy would try to win the girls hand, but instead, had her like a servant. Basically, this movie is saying that if you're submissive to a man, you'll be happy. And the change in movie at the end was weird. Maybe it would have worked better if it had been a serious romance all along.

I think that his cruelty was exactly the point of the film and it wouldnt work otherwise. The message of the film is that power corrupts, but that does not mean having no power makes you automatically noble, only your decisions can make you noble. The corruption lies within you - power does not create it, it only allows whats inside to show. The commentary is one of the most powerful I`ve come across in popular culture.
And the fact that this commentary is buried under heaps of incomprehensible campiness is just hilarious.

I think there was sexual tension between the two before the accident. I do agree that he went overboard in his treatment of her. He became what he despised in her. It would have worked better if he was not as cruel as he was initially. Given her background, I can see that he had to break her down and help her to realize things were different now. However, I think he took advantage of the situation. I'm glad that he didn't force himself on her when he was chasing her in the sand.

I can agree with you. If only the scprit was better and Madonna tried a bit harder, things wouldn't of ben differnt. Overall I like watching it.
We all have only one life, do what make you happy!
